You people all on the USCe bandwagon because of Clowney?
Edit: I mean ask yourself this. Without Clowney, would you say USC has the best DL in the country because of Taylor and Ingram?
I say no. Discuss.

MSU
UF
then others are sucking wind.
As the OP suggested, LSU will be very solid. injuries definitely hurt last season.
I heard on the radio (post officiating meeting)that teams better watch out with defensive holding this next season by d-linemen. Officials will be calling it. Also, substituting after running plays to your side of the field and sending in new players with different packages, will be stopped by the officials to allow defensive substitutions - spread teams will be hurt by this i.e slowing the game down a bunch. Believe it or not Baylor is a master of the substitution issue. That sneaky Art Briles!
The defensive linemen holding happens on play such as pulling on running plays, one DT might grab a tackle and a pulling guard to allow the LB make the play. it is their way of slowing down effective running games and spread offenses.
It is hard to catch because of where the play occurs, but the officials are going to look specuifically for it.

You don't even have to look at the rosters to know that Alabama will have the best DL. No way USC, LSU or Florida has recruited better than Saban on the defensive line.

Our D line has the potential to dominate games at times this year, but that's all it is right now...potential. We have 2 returning starters who might be the least talented of the top 4
Our 3 deep at NT has a lot of potential:
John Jenkins -- a lot expected from highly coveted JUCO transfer
Kwame Geathers (RSO) -- performed well in '10 with limited duty, very strong spring
Mike Thornton (RSFR)-- pretty big recruit, redshirted
Tyson in his more natural position at DE, Abry Jones returning at DE. Derrick Lott, decent job in '10, and Garrison Smith backing them up.
